This is how I feel today!!!! IT IS COLLLLDDD!!!
I did warm up in the wee hours this morning with Ms. Jillian man she knows how to warm up those Winter Days! I back on track and ready to start hard core training to get in shape and finish my 10K in March!! I'm pumped I'm ready...(que Eye of the Tiger)
So I thought I'd warm all of you up with a Yummy Soup that I made today!!! It's Hearty, Healthy, and sure to warm you up on this blustery Winter Day!!! I created this recipe from a medley of different recipes I found so I guess it's an original. We'll say it is anyway!!!
Organic Sausage Spinach Lentil Soup
6 OrganicCarrots (washed not peeled)
6 stalk of Organic Celery
2 Medium Organic Onions
3 Cloves Garlic
1lb. Sausage (from none other than Sunrise Farm)
2 c. Lentils (I used 1 cup green, 1 cup red) Rinse them!!!
2 Cartons Vegetable Broth
2 cups Fresh Baby Organic Spinach (found in Salad section)
3 sprig fresh Thyme or 3 t. dried thyme
Salt and Pepper to Taste
In a large Stock Pot Brown Sausage and chunk up into small bits (like ground beef), once browned take out drain fat and set aside.
Chop Carrots, Celery, Onions chop into large chunks. Mince Garlic. In your stock pot that you cooked the sausage in satue' veggies. Start with Onions and Garlic once they are translucent add carrots and celery! Add Thyme if you are using fresh just pinch the stem at one end and slide the leaves off into the pot, add salt and pepper to taste.
Add Sausage saute' for a few minutes. Then add Broth be sure and scrape the bottom of the pan to get all those good sausage and onion bits. They call that deglazing, Wow I feel so professional!!!
Bring this mixture to a boil then add Lentils, boil for about 5 mins. reduce the heat and simmer for 30-45 mins. Then add Spinach and let that wilt and simmer for about 10-15 more minutes.
Voila'
Enjoy!!!
Pictures of mine coming soon!
